Demand vs. Supply and Market Maturity
- 

While corporate BTC accumulation is rising, Bitcoin’s price remains volatile due to derivative activity, profit-taking, and macroeconomic events. Analysts highlight that institutional buying—often over-the-counter—builds a quiet but steady demand.
Edward Carroll from MHC Digital Group predicts this institutional demand could create upward price pressure over the medium to long term. Meanwhile, US spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to perform strongly, with $2.71 billion inflows last week, signaling crypto’s evolution toward a mainstream, institutional-grade asset class.
